    SOLD Vortex Vulture HD 15x56

    Excellent shape. I bought these from a fellow Rokslider and tried them out a few times hiking around. He said they were 3 years old and in like new condition, which I 100% agree with and he paid $680-$690 retail. I thought I wanted 15Xs to replace my 10X and Spotter, but after trying them out I...

    Elk 4B North Early Bull Tag

    Hi all, Any advice on the 4B North Early early Bull Tag? I put my 12-year old son and I both in for this hunt as Epic Outdoors said it was a new hunt (1st week of August) and that you could hunt on the Forest. Well, I got hit for $650 so either one of us drew it and he could shoot my bull if...

    Leupold VX-3i CDS 30mm Riflescope (Windplex or Duplex and 40 or 50 MM)

    I am leaning towards getting a VX-3i with CDS and side-focus. I am debating between the WindPlex or Duplex as well as the 50 MM vs. 40 MM objective. Any thoughts on everyone's preference? Looking to shoot 600 yards in 10 MPH wind. What I am confused about (it must be because of demand and...

    Unit 161 Deer - Early October

    Hi Colorado Crew, I picked up a 161 early deer tag on the leftover list today without knowing much about the unit. I am coming out that way from back east for an antelope hunt across the border. I know of the big fire in that area in 2016. This is the September 30 - October 8th hunt and you...

    Quotas

    Does anyone know when Colorado posts the quotas for each hunt code? I am guessing it is after the application deadline, but before the draw. Thanks.

    Looking for any recommendations for a butcher or taxidermist near Delta, CO. I am shooting a 220" mule deer, so keep that in mind (: Grand Junction, Cederedge, Hotchkiss, Paonia or Montrose could potentially work as well (as long as the roads are open!) Thanks!

    Colorado vs. Wyoming

    Anyone think that Colorado waited until the Wyoming hunt application period ended in order to put up the results? I know the back door has been open, but for those not sure if they drew 1st or 2nd choice, it might have influenced their decision on applying in Wyoming? Just seems like the two...

    I have max points for Antelope and I was looking at burning them this year, but I cannot hunt until around October 1. I am looking for some advice on what unit(s) may be better in the season.

    LAST EDITED ON Mar-03-12 AT 12:58PM (MST)[p]I guess this is correct as I am applying for my bonus points now and I can apply for all of them except General Deer? That is sort of messed up if you ask me. Just found this in the guidebook: Applying for a preference point Even if you won't be...

    Turning Tag Back in ? based on New Rule

    Has anyone ran across trying to turn only one tag back in with a group application based on the new rules? It looks like the spirit of the new rule is to keep grandma from applying and helping you get a tag each year (I am all for this). The problem I see is that if you did not gain any...

    Best Maps for the BookCliffs

    I am looking for an overview map with some detail for the Book Cliffs. I haven't seen what I am looking for (e.g. a National Geographic Map that covers this area). Any advice out there? I guess I am going to go the BLM route most likely. Does the Utah Road and Recreation Atlas cover the...

    Vortex Nomad Angled Spotting Scope - Trade/Sale

    I bought the Vortex Nomad Angled Spotting Scope from CameraLand and I love the scope and just got back from using it in Wyoming. The scope worked great and I thought I would really like the Angled eyepiece, but I had a hard time getting used to it. I glassed quite a bit off of a window...

    Has anyone hunted Wyoming Moose Unit 18 west of Dubois? I know that is 99% public ground, but it seems that there are a lot of permits for a small area. Are there any trophy class bulls in this area? Thanks for any input and good luck to all in the draws. Nino
